The pics loaded for me but they're big files I think.
I just wouldn't want a put-together mess. I've got enough of those.
It looked like what you said exactly, got pulled out of a barn. License plate says Idaho... I think.
I love the idea of it being unmessed with for many decades.

North Dakota on the plate. You both are probably right, unmolested barn find. Lots of extra parts.

It just doesn't get better: 1) Nearby 2) Not crazy expensive 3)Real Deal Barn Find?? 4) Lots of extra parts 5)They'll finance! 6) Unbelievably cool original 1920s IHC truck
My plan would be to LEAVE IT ALONE for once in my life. Clean what needs to be cleaned. Get it running, of course.

Now comes the voice of Unreason, If you can afford it, buy it, sell some other things. It is way cool! I will be content just getting my one truck done in the next year or two.

14 hours to go and still has not hit the reserve price.

I hate it when people start ebay auctions with a low starting price and a reserve. Why don't they just put the reserve as the starting price.

US $3,400.00

Blame some of that on E-bay's pricing structure of what you pay to list something and percentage you pay when sold.

I think the deal is too good not to call and ask what he's looking to get. I'll do that Monday.

Let us know what your find out, do not need to know exact price, especially if your after it, but just how far was the last bid of $3550 from the "reserve" Lots or not far? My hat is off to all who do That kind of restoration.

I wouldn't restore it. I would preserve it to the best of my ability. Keep it dry, etc. Make it run. Service the snot out of it. I'm going to get emotional, give me a minute...
